Jian Ruoxi looked up at Lu Shen, whose face was cold and indifferent. All the grievances and anger in her heart surged up at once. This man clearly knew the real reason why Su Ziyu came to pick her up, yet he allowed Li Anran to slander her here.
She let Su Ziyu help her up and stand up, then looked at Lu Shen with a mocking smile for a while. The man felt a little guilty and uncomfortable under her gaze. Just as he was wondering what Jian Ruoxi was going to say, this little woman unexpectedly walked right past him.
"Jian Ruoxi, you stop right there!" Lu Shen was anxious; he was genuinely afraid that Jian Ruoxi and Su Ziyu would just leave like that.
He even had a feeling that if Jian Ruoxi left today, there would truly be no possibility between them in the future.
Jian Ruoxi paused for a moment, but didn't even glance at him again, continuing to walk forward without looking back while holding Su Ziyu's hand.
Lu Shen was a little anxious. He wanted to step forward and grab Jian Ruoxi's arm, but Li Anran blocked his way: "Brother Shen, what are you going to do?"
Lu Shen ignored her, and just looked at Jian Ruoxi's back before saying harshly, "Jian Ruoxi, if you leave, don't come back."
Jian Ruoxi acted as if she hadn't heard him, leaving him only with a cold, aloof back view. It wasn't until that back view disappeared from sight that Lu Shen truly began to panic and regret.
He stood there somewhat annoyed. He hadn't expected that this woman would actually leave with Su Ziyu like that. He knew that Su Ziyu had come over early in the morning because of work, but he still felt uncomfortable having such a man with such a strong ulterior motive standing next to her.
An unprecedented sense of crisis washed over him, making him feel breathless and even a little frantic. How dare this woman not listen to him? He stood there dumbfounded, not uttering a word.
Li Anran was very unhappy to see Lu Shen like this. That bitch is gone, yet Lu Shen is still so unhappy. Could it be that he really can't live without that woman Jian Ruoxi?
No, Lu Shen is mine, and I absolutely cannot let Jian Ruoxi take away the position of the young mistress of the Lu family.
“Brother Lu Shen, look at Jian Ruoxi, that woman doesn’t listen to you at all. You asked her to stay, but she left without saying a word. She must be having some kind of affair with Su Ziyu. Why are you getting angry over this woman?”
Li Anran stood next to Lu Shen and reached out to pull his arm, but Lu Shen blocked her way.
Lu Shen looked at Li Anran with displeasure. He felt that the woman in front of him was a bit unfamiliar. She used to be so innocent and lovely, so why did she give him a ferocious feeling now?
He was somewhat lost and disoriented, his mind involuntarily conjuring up numerous images of Su Ziyu and Jian Ruoxi being happy together. He walked towards the door as if he had lost his mind.
Unfortunately, there was no one outside the door; Jian Ruoxi and Su Ziyu had already gotten into their car and left.
"I'm sorry, I made you laugh today." Jian Ruoxi's tense expression relaxed a little after she sat in Su Ziyu's car. She seemed a little tired and curled up in the car seat, looking small and pitiful.
Su Ziyu didn't know how to comfort her, so he turned on the music in the car. The soft music soothed Jian Ruoxi's nerves. She was already considering leaving the Lu family. She would eventually break down one day from living in an environment of suspicion and humiliation every day.
"You should get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there." Su Ziyu's voice was very gentle, and with the music playing, Jian Ruoxi quickly fell asleep. But where no one could see, a tear slid down her cheek.
Li Anran, Lu Shen, and Madam Lu were having a meal in the dining room. Faced with the delicious food in front of them, the other two, except for Li Anran, found it tasteless, especially Lu Shen, who picked up his coffee several times but didn't drink it.
Madam Lu naturally noticed her grandson's unhappiness. She put down her cutlery and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you have an appetite?"
Lu Shen glanced at his grandmother, who always doted on him but was also strict with him, and shook his head: "I was just thinking about something." He didn't say that he was thinking about Jian Ruoxi, but he was already being tormented to death by the terrible thoughts in his mind after being apart for only a short time.
Seeing Lu Shen's expression, Li Anran could guess what was going on. Her expression immediately turned sour, and her words became more sarcastic: "Brother Shen, are you still thinking about what happened this morning? What would you want with that fickle woman?"
"Anran." Old Madam Lu glared at Li Anran, signaling her to stop using those words to provoke Lu Shen, but Li Anran ignored her and continued speaking.
"If you ask me, that woman should be kicked out of the Lu family. It's laughable to even say that a divorced woman is living in her ex-husband's house. And to say that she's recuperating here only makes people think more nonsense."
The other two's expressions immediately turned sour. They had agreed to Jian Ruoxi staying here because Lu Shen wanted to reconcile with her. Now, Li Anran was making her sound like a woman who had schemed to seduce her ex-husband.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Li Anran simply continued. She wanted to strike while the iron was hot and use today's incident to make Jian Ruoxi worthless in the hearts of Old Madam Lu and Lu Shen, otherwise how would she have the opportunity to become Mrs. Lu?
"Who knows where she and that Su Ziyu are now? If you ask me, an actress is just an actress. Everyone says that actresses in the entertainment industry are like prostitutes, and I think she's pretty much the same. She pretends to be a pure and innocent goddess every day, but who knows how promiscuous she is behind the scenes? It's disgusting to look at."
Finally, Old Madam Lu couldn't take it anymore. She slammed the cutlery down on the table, her serious expression startling Li Anran: "Anran, how can a girl like you say such things?"
"Grandma, I was just telling the truth." Li Anran pouted a little unhappily. Why was this old lady protecting Jian Ruoxi today? It's like the sun rose in the west.
"What do you mean by 'truth'? What evidence do you have? Or did you see it with your own eyes?" Old Madam Lu was truly surprised by Li Anran's behavior. Disappointment appeared on her face. "Don't speak ill of others behind their backs so casually in the future. It will lower your standards."
After saying this, Madam Lu stood up and left. Lu Shen didn't say anything either, and took his suit to the company.
